[QUOTE="messix, post: 1536035, member: 16065"] there is an easy way to replace the pump with out messing with the bed. jack the truck up at the read diff as high as you can get it, then support the frame [I have some old really tall jack stands that I placed at the rear frame rails], then undo the shocks at the lower mounts, then let the rear end hang. now you can start dropping the fuel tank down but not all the way with out damaging the fuel lines and wires, support the tank with a ratchet strap. you should be able to sit under the truck now and get to the sender/pump bung on the, and be able to pull it out [the pump/sender telescopes under spring pressure] so you can pull it up and grab part of it and compress it and get the pump the rest of the way out. if you have a big fat head you might pull the drive shaft for more room and then check the u=joints on that while it's out. I did all this on a 90+ deg day while home with a broken ankle so you have no excuse to do it.:awesomework: [/QUOTE]
